HI Firends,
I am looking a clarification. My Employment period was starts 26-June-2011 and ends at 06-July-2012. And in between I have taken 3-weeks vacation without pay. But minimum work on every week from 52 Hours and some times goes to 60 hours. Because i am working in week end too.
The total hours I worked will be reflecting in My T4.

Now My worry is will it affect 12 months eligibility under CEC ? Because the total number of days I am in canada was 1-Year -10 days.

If they include Number of hours worked , then I am in very safer hand.
Can somebody have any information about this .

Thanks in advance about your help.

If you took 3 weeks vacation without pay, you're 11 days shorter now. If your vacation was payed it would have been OK now(only payed vacation is calculated to your experience). Doesn't matter if you worked more than 30 hours per week. Everything above 30 hours is not counted. You need to fulfill both 1year and also minimum 30 hours per week.

Well... all depends on what your letter of employment says about hours worked per week, benefits (incl. vacation time), etc. Did you receive vacation pay in each pay check? You might be OK...
